"Regardless of what you have been taught to believe; your most important asset is time - not money or possessions, your most important impact will be made through relationships - not through positions or certifications." - Allan Wallace

As you've seen in recent post I keep writing more and more on Squidoo, and less and less here.

Squidoo has more tools than a blog, and each entry grows in readership over time, instead of disappearing into the archives. I've tried various archiving methods on other blogs, but with few exceptions, older post just sit there unread. If you want to try Squidoo too, there will be a link on my "lens."

It does take more time to build a quality Squidoo page, but over time readership increases. It is fairly easy to find and improve what I've written, something that rarely happens to these journal posts. There will be BFuniv tweets most weekdays on Twitter, most updates, quotes, and comments should only need those 140 characters. We will still send out quarterly Bastiat Free University e-mails to let you know how your university is progressing.

Here is the new BFU Journal style I'm going to test for a while. I have a Squidoo lens that lists what I've written there. At the top of the page I will list my most recent pages, the others will be grouped by category. If you want to treat it like a blog, just look at the most recent entries.

If you find something interesting, say about education, scroll down to the Finding A Cure For The Common Education module to access more lenses on the subject. I will be playing with the format - over the next few months it may change occasionally.

Although I agree with your argument that Squidoo is easier to manage and maintain, there is a contentment I get while blogging which just cannot be replaced. I hope to see more posts from you in the future.Julie
